about this mix
about this mix
Amazonian peoples use charcoal as a key ingredient of their terra preta soils, and today it is a staple component in nearly every substate mix used in the aroid, terrarium and vivarium hobbies.
In addition to its use as a substrate, it is also an excellent material for culturing live foods inside the vivarium, particularly springtails (Collembola) – filling the trough with charcoal supports an ongoing food source for freshly morphed froglets. Because it weighs half as much as calcined clay, it also makes an excellent drainage material that will help reduce the overall weight of your vivarium display.
When storing charcoal, allow it to dry out completely before placing into an airtight container.
Fine Grade is measured at: 2-5mm

Fine-grade horticultural charcoal praised for excellent quality and value. Customers said it's "uniform in size" and "not at all messy." Widely used in soil mixes, terrariums, and houseplants. One customer preferred coarser grade. Praised for minimal dust, great packaging, and competitive pricing. Ideal soil amendment component.
- Quality and price is excellent, no dust just good size charcoal.
- Uniform in size/shape and not at all messy considering what it is.
- Impressed with the quality and quick delivery.
Good quality and price
First time buying and using charcoal in my soil mix. Don't know enough about it to compare but I'm happy with it
Excellent as always
Great price good size bag
Charcoal.
I use horticultural charcoal in all my house plants and wouldn't buy it anywhere else. The quality and price is excellent, no dust just good size charcoal. Grow Tropicals are the best, not only for plants, but soil and soil components. I wouldn't shop anywhere else.
I'd seen some videos online of people including charcoal in their aroid mixes and noticed it being sold here when looking for other aroid mix components. It's my first time trying it but so far a good experience. It is all uniform in size/shape and not at all messy considering what it is.
Great
I love the soil components available so being able to purchase these along with my plants is perfect. Well packaged, great quality product. Order perfectly packaged as always. Thank you Grow Tropicals!
Good quality product .
Nice and light bags, a good soil amendment
Great quality substrate elements. I make a lot of terrariums, and I was impressed with the quality and quick delivery of Grow Tropicals. Will definitely be shopping here frequently in the future!
I always use Grow Tropicals Charcoal in my plant mixes now and this is the best, and best value I’ve found:blush: all delivered perfectly too x
Excellent
